2016 DeTnk Collectible Design Market Report

An Analysis of Design Sales During 2015

DeTnk is pleased to announce the publication of the 2016 DeTnk Collectible Design Market Report. The global collectible design market has shrunk across the board in 2015, with 4.3% less lots offered for sale and 9% less in total value of sales.

The DeTnk Collectible Design Market Report is a holistic analysis of the emerging collectible design market. The report focuses on the past nine years of sales from 5 of the largest auction houses including: Christie’s New York, Paris, and London; Sotheby’s New York, Paris, and London; Phillips New York and London; Dorotheum and Wright.

Key findings from the report include: statistics analysing the average yearly market growth, the regional impact of the design market, a breakdown of sales figures by design period, the DeTnk Design Index, the DeTnk Top 100.

The DeTnk Design Index, down .46 point in 2015, takes into account the total value of sales and percentage bought-in at auction to summarise a massive quantity of data into one simple number; providing a reference to the market’s climate and allowing one to compare the market between years.

The DeTnk top 100 is a comprehensive list of the top designers of 2015. The ranking takes into account the value and volume of each designer’s sales in relationship to the percentage of their works that were bought in.
